Not necessarily; COO tried to lock up ALL tech under EPGL's hat, which is great, if they could have paid for it.
EPGL did it's part based on the agreement, COO breached the agreement.
COO knows what this tech holds as does most tech. companies out there; just look at filed patents from SONY, GOOGLE and Samsung in the same field.
It was bad timing for COO unfortunately. J&J saw the opportunity and with it's size can definitely help the cause and it didn't just happen overnight.
